Exclamation Alarm sounding 15 minutes after locking!!! - XK8 Convertible 1998 (RHD)

Recently the alarm has started sounding 15 minutes after locking (using either the fob or key). Only the alarm sounds, but not flashing the lights.
I have done hard resets, sprayed WD40 into locks and latches. The battery was new late last year.
Any thoughts?

Welcome to the forums Paul,

I've copied this question from Europe Region forum to XK8/XKR forum for advice from members with the same model.

Possibly the 'intelligent sounder' behind the RHS headlamp dying. You can try disconnecting it. See this thread of DevonDavid's for more information:
